Type material examined: T. bicolor : see Assing (2015d). T. chinensis : see Assing (2015b).

Comment: A re-examination of the type material of T. bicolor and T. chinensis revealed that both names refer to the same species; hence the synonymy proposed above. The aedeagi of the lectotype of T. bicolor and of the holotype of T. chinensis are identical (see ASSING 2015d: figures 31–32 and PACE 2012a: figures 20–21). The species is currently known from three localities in Burma, North Vietnam, and China (border region between Shaanxi, Chongqing, and Hubei).
